Logan was inspired to support Poppyscotland after the charity helped his Uncle Stuart got his life back when returning from serving in Iraq.

Stuart Proudfoot suffered critical injuries after his vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb during a routine patrol in January 2006, and the same incident claimed the life of his friend.

Logan, who has already raised £780 through online donations, said: “Poppyscotland holds a special place in the hearts of my family.

“My Uncle Stuart was injured in Iraq and Poppyscotland helped him get a house and gave him the support he needed.

“Also, my Uncle Barry is currently serving with the Royal Navy and I am hoping to follow in the military footsteps when I am older too.

“I’d love to raise £1,000 for the charity – that’s my ultimate goal.

“I’ve also got my little sister Abbie to help, who will be crossing the bridge too on foot. I’d like to ask the Scottish public to donate what they can, so that Poppyscotland can continue to help more families like ours.”
